Digital Ocean has taken notice of rise of Kubernetes and is now also planning to offer it as a service. This is great news for companys who are looking to cost save or developer just wanting to startup a basic cluster without breaking the bank. $5 for 1CPU,2 5GB disk, and 1TB bandwith is pretty hard to beat. Combine it with their other offerings like Load Balance, Spaces, Block Storage and its quite hard to beat.

Hopefully Digital Ocean gives the big cloud providers a run for their money.

Google introduced support for custom HTTP headers on their load balancers and provide some pre-defined variables, notibly geolocation related headers such as client_city_lat_long for latitude, longitude. With this, backend servers no long need to load a large (and probably licenced) database to resolve an IP address.

It's finally here! Port forwarding to something other than a pod. As of 1.10, you can forward to Pods, Deployments, Services, almost anything with a selector. All that is left is binding to something other than localhost.
